Horror Movie Month - The Funhouse

The Funhouse (1981)
The Stars - Elizabeth Berridge, Cooper Huckabee, Largo Woodruff, Miles Chapin, Shawn Carson
The Gist - Four teenagers double date to a carnival with a bad reputation. Seems last year in a nearby town, two girls went missing. Instead of leaving the carnival at the end of the night, they decide to spend the night inside the funhouse instead. They begin by fooling around but eventually witness a murder and then have to try to escape the funhouse while fending off crazy carnies.
The Scares - It's not scary, per se. Especially compared to director Tobe Hooper's previous effort - the best horror movie of all time - The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Still, The Funhouse is a cult classic for a reason and it's fun as hell to watch. The acting (mostly unknowns) is better than it has to be. The movie is fast paced and exciting.
The Body Count - 6.
The Grade - B+
